Effective management of health is key to well-being in later life. Dr. Alberto Concepcion provides expert, compassionate care for a range of conditions common in older adults, with a focus on managing symptoms and maintaining function. Common areas of focus include:
- Acute Pharyngitis: Acute pharyngitis, or a painful throat, can be managed with simple home remedies like warm salt water gargles and throat lozenges, keeping you comfortable and preventing further complications, thus maintaining your quality of life.
- Gait Abnormality: Gait abnormalities are changes in walking patterns that can range from minor to significant; working with your doctor can lead to improved mobility and a higher quality of life.
- Wheezing: If you're experiencing wheezing, it's a sign that your airways might be constricted, making breathing difficult, but treatment can improve your comfort and overall well-being.
- Acute Bronchitis: Characterized by a cough, sometimes accompanied by fever or shortness of breath, acute bronchitis is a temporary condition that typically improves with home care strategies and possibly medication prescribed by your doctor, enabling you to feel better and participate in everyday life.
- Viral Hepatitis: If you have viral hepatitis, your doctor might recommend treatments to reduce inflammation in your liver, improving your energy levels and your ability to enjoy daily life.
- Secondary Diabetes Mellitus: Certain health problems or medicines can lead to secondary diabetes, a condition where your body doesn't regulate blood sugar effectively. A collaborative approach with your healthcare team, including diet, exercise, and potentially medication, is key to managing it and preserving your quality of life.
- Urinary Incontinence: Urinary incontinence is the unintentional leakage of urine, a common but treatable problem that can be managed with lifestyle changes, medication, or other therapies to help maintain dignity and independence.
- Sleep Apnea: Sleep apnea disrupts your sleep cycle by causing pauses in breathing, but with proper medical attention and potentially a simple device used at night, you can experience better sleep and more energy during the day.
- Reflux Esophagitis: With proper management, reflux esophagitis can be controlled, allowing you to enjoy meals and maintain your independence without constant discomfort.
- Asthma: If you have asthma, it means your lungs' airways become narrow and inflamed, making it hard to breathe, but regular treatment can significantly improve your lung function and quality of life.
- Malaise and Fatigue: While some fatigue is normal, persistent tiredness and a general feeling of being unwell can dramatically affect your quality of life. Your doctor can help identify the cause and develop a treatment plan that gets you back on your feet.
- Ear Ache: Ear pain can impact your quality of life, but a doctor can diagnose the problem and recommend the best treatment plan to reduce discomfort and restore your comfort.
This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional based on your specific health history.
